Violence Erupts After Israeli Airstrikes on Hezbollah Bases

In the early hours of a recent Saturday, central Israel faced a sudden attack that hurt 11 people. This incident followed Iran’s leader’s threat of a harsh retaliation against Israel after several air raids on Gaza and Lebanon. The attacks on the central Israeli town of Tira were part of a series of assaults from Lebanon that saw multiple rockets being intercepted by Israel's air defense systems. This wave of hostilities came after Israel targeted Hezbollah bases last week.Hezbollah claimed responsibility for using missiles and drones against Israel, aiming for military and intelligence facilities. They reported precise hits but didn’t confirm whether the targets were indeed hit. Local resident Tamar Abdel Hai expressed fear and pleaded for an end to the fighting. Meanwhile, Israel continued its strikes in Gaza, causing fatalities and serious injuries among civilians. A significant number of Lebanese people have been displaced due to the ongoing conflict. The World Health Organization managed to conduct a scaled-down polio vaccination campaign in Gaza amidst the chaos. With Egypt trying to broker a cease-fire, the situation remains tense and unresolved.
